1t is a we'll known fact that our
government is paying many million
dollars per year to the railroads for
the carrying Of the mails. 1t is
also fact that il the railroads were
owned by the government, this
great expense would cease and the
present rate Of postage could be
reduced one-half or one-third. But
the people are not complaining Of
excessive rate of postage. Every
where the people are perfectly sat
isfied with the present cost Of
sending lettor, paper or package,
therefore under government owner
ship OF railroads the present rate
OF postage could be maintained and
the people would not complain.
The result would be that a greatly
increased revenue would flow into
the treasury without additional
burdens to the people. This great
surplus combined with the express
which would naturally fall into the
hands of the government, and other
earnings could be applied to liqui.
date the cost OF the road. In this
way every railroad could be paid
for without increasing the revenue
OF the government, and in way
that would not burden the people,
and when once paid for. the postage
could be reduced one-half, express
packages could be sent at nominal
price, and freight and passenger
rates would be within the reach OF
all.-Industrial West.

THE BOYS In BLUE.
ST LOUIS CROWDED WITH GRAND ARMY
MEN AND OTHER VISITORS.
The City Filling Up-Gsasral Sherman on Hand
The Advanced Guards Of the Delegations.
Pacific Slope Veterans SwOOp
Down Upon the Town.

ST. LOUIS, September 25.-The boys in
blue are gathering at the camping grounds,
and the streets of st. Louis are sprinkled
with Grand Army men, with breasts
decked with copper and ribbon badges.
The thoroughfares were crowded with
strangers all day, and from the depots
crowds of visitors pressed to and fro. The
beat of the drum and whistle Of fife grows
familiar and all pedestrians drop unwit-
tingly into the steady tramp. Bulletins
in the shape of kilograms announced the
approach of delegations and the advance
guard in squads and by Posts, rolled into
the city, by every incoming train. The
Pacific slope swoOped down upon the town
in thirty-three cars, fifteen hundred strong
from California and hundred more from
Oregon, Washington Territory and Alaska.
Scarcely had their tramp died out when
Wisconsin, led by Governor Rusk and his
body guard OF seventeen manned soldiers,
marched through the streets, escorted by
fifty men from Milwaukee. Their tents
were pitched in Carr Place, and after visit
ing their quarters, many sought their COM
rades from Illinois, who were quartered at
Lyon Park. Three hundred from the
Quincy, ILL.,, Soldiers Home, had arrived,
and as they took possession the One-legged
staff of Wisconsin marched around the
ground on an inspection tour. OhiO's first

Park, where they were joined by squads
from Indiana.
Kansas and Massachusetts had many
men Mt their tents at Washington Park,
though the posts will not come until to-
morrow. A martial air peryades the city,
aud several thousand soldiers perambulate
the streets and promise many more than
were al first expected, as California, came
fifteen hundred strong instead of 800 rs
was at first promised.
As each other State now sends notice OF
increased attendance, the total number
will swell to more than $4,000. As these
men arrive they will be met at the depot
by q Reception committee, who will send
one man with each post to direct them to
their quarters. Tents and rooms are pre-
pared for all, no matter what number.
Gen. Sherman to-day was asked II he

ST. LOUIS, September 25.-Several
thousand Grand Army veterans reached
the city to-day, among them General
sherman and party, from New York. The
Old warrior was rendered brilliant recep-
tion by the Ransom Post, of which ne is
member. Many OF the department COM
manders are here and have taken posses
sion of the headquarters assigned to them
and are hard at work. A preliminary
illumination OF the streets took place
tonight, and it was found to be
all that was expected. The decorative
work is almost done, and such display
of flags and bunting OF national colors was
never before seen in this old city. The
California posts who were expected IN to
night will not arrive until morning. One
thousand veterans will come from the
slope, and they come TO make General
sherman Commander in Chief. Five eX-
cursions arrived from Iowa and Northern
Missouri tonight, bringing in half dozen
posts.
The cOlored people are very indignant
because the local Executive Committee dld
not allow colOred children Oh the same
stand with white children. The children
are to sing patriotic songs while the pro-
csssion is passing. The colOred leaders say
if the G.. A. K. debar the cOlored delegates
to the eucampment from the banquet at
the Lindell Hotel there will he trouble.

A SEA TERROR.
A Rival to the Peacemsker-A Formida-
BILE Marine Engine.

A Rival to the Peacemsker-A Formula
BILE Marine Engine.
PARIS, September 25.-A rival to the
Peacemaker and to Lieutenant Halinskrs
submarine Nautilus has turned up at
Havre. Electricity is the motive power
and not caustic soda, as is the case with
Prof. Paine's invention. 1t is something
over eight meters in length, two deep and
of capacity OF five tons. The shell is
constructed entirely of steel. The stem
and stern are flush and full, but what is
thus lost in speed in the opinion of the
inventor is regained in the greater safety
of navigation.
The motive power is furnished by a
DYNAMO electric machine invented by Cap
tain Krebs, of the French navy, famous
for his balloons, in use now by the bal
looming corps of the army. The engine has
at times developed l2'hOrse power. The
energy is stored in conseryatOrs which
contain neither led nor acids, and which
weigh only 20 kilOgrammes for one horse
power, whereas the storage batteries Of the
electric yacht Volta weighed 100 kilO-
grammes To each one horse power stored.
The scientific men visiting the Hayre Mar
itime Exhibition, just closed, are loud in
their admiration OF the new marine wond-
er. She has made six and half knot for
five consecutive hours during the pubic
trials.

forth by remark of one of the members
that the convicted men ought to be hung.
Said he:

who speak in this manner are willing to
look at the case in generous light. Re-
member the conditions of their birth. If

that ignorance and bigotry, should

tinued, land am sorry 80 many of its citi-
zens possess that narrow-mindedness and

NEW YORK, September 25.-JOhann
Most, the loDg-dIstance Anarchist, stood
around in front of the Union Square Hotel
for several hours to-day waiting to see
Captain Black, the Chicago attorney of the
condemned Anarchists, who is at present
in the city in consultation with General
Roger A. Pryor. When asked what was
the cause of his presence in that neighbor-
hood, he answered, with snap of his little
round eyes, ut is none of your business"
There was an unwonted activity in
General Pryor's Office to-day. The Gen
eral has got his force in fine working order
but it will be weeks before all the legal
points and objections in the case OF the
Anarchists will be committed to paper.
Captain Black in company with George
Schilling called upon General Pryor in the
morning, and they remained in private
conference until this afternoon. Another
champion has entered the field in the
effort to save the necks of the Chicago
Anarchists. George Francis Train will
lecture tonight, in Webster Hall, for the
benefit of the Chicago Anarchists and their
families. George Frances has still an aver
sion to speaking with grown people, and,
in order to hold a confab with the
audience, third party, in the small per-
son of the tonsorial artists boy from the
basement of the Ashland House, will re-
peat his words.

NEGRO MAS0NS.

They Lynch a aurdsrer-A Suspicion a. to
an AyenGing Oath.
GEEENwoOp. Miss, September 25.-A
negro named Henry Taylor killed another
negro on the Talla Hatchee river about
two months ago. At that time an attempt
was made to lynch him by colored Masons,
but they were prevented, a Mr.. Stancill
taking Taylor to his house and protecting
hun. Since then Taylar and his wife have
disappeared. One day last week q body
was found in the river, which proved to
be that OF Taylor, aud the impression Is
that colored Masons made away with both
him aud his wife.
George +. Evans, who was hanged here
July ~, by 4 negro mob, was supposed to
have been lynched by cOlOred MaSOns be
cause he had killed one of their number
The feeling Is getting to be strong that the
colored MasOus take m oath in their secret
organizations to agenge the death of r
brother Mason.
